First off, I apologize to my friends and roleplay partners who've been left hanging. Any desire to cancel old threads is completely understandable.

I've been struggling with a serious health issue the past several months. There was a long period where things would seem to improve only to relapse, delaying things further. All that aside, just wanted to let people know I'm around again and to contact me via PM or Trillian - ironsoldier, if anyone wants to get things going again.

Fighting Style:Heavily reliant upon technical submission holds, with an arachnid-like level of independent limb control. Linh skitters about her opponents, eyeing up every little inch of their body and opening in their defence before she strikes. She can pounce and strike moderately well although not enough to make her a good choice for a running strike-or slam/throw based battle. Her M.O. is based mostly around the ground game where she can combine both her dexterity and sexual wiles; expect full body servicing, (a)symmetrical docking, and a lot of sloppy kissing and licking ("I assure you, there is a a tactical side to this!"). She is creative when it comes to submissions, using her great flexibility to tangle up her opponents in her limbs. This flexibility doesn't make her immune to being bodily contorted but does grant a certain degree of resistance to complex holds.

Favored Moves:Grapevine/full body pin combined with a degree of humping, frankensteiner, (a)symmetrical docking, convoluted holds involving every limb interlocking/hooking/whatthefuckhowareyoudoingthat, japanese twist, sloppy makeouts, scissor squeezes, a few high kicks and knee strikes here and there, along with the odd elbow one or two to fend off close-up foes.

Finishing Movies:

Tarantula's Web:

Spider's Affection:

Spoiler:

Linh will usually wrap her forearm around her opponent's raised arms, flexing to hold them down.

Ensnared Delights:

Based on the first 30 seconds of this.

Arachnid Imprisonment:

With her opponent on her knees and face first on the mat, Linh squeezes their head between her strong thighs. Then, she grabs their arms, archs them up backwards, and bundles them together with a free arm. She might wait a little before falling into the side and capturing one of their legs in her own, making it a headscissor/leg-lock submission, leaving only one free leg to kick and squirm about helplessly.

Personality:

In spite of her P.R. depictions as a sultry temptress and moonlighting exotic dancer, Linh is quite friendly and talkative, on occasion acting a bit like a happy-go-lucky married mother with too much free time and money. Although she does have a femme fatale side, she's not very snobby about it and does it mostly for fun and to help "read" others, testing them to see how they react. When she opens up to others, she has a tendency to get carried away in conversations and go off on a variety of tangents, but has a slight cunning side. Quite open to suggestions and known to be rather casual around her fans. Attempts to steer away from drama and rivalry, believing the ring and what happens beyond it should stay separate.

Past:

The daughter of a Vietnamese doctor and his French ex-politician wife, Linh was definitely a rather privileged, fortunate girl who was studying to be an anthropologist and interpreter. Of course, life has a tendency of throwing rather bizarre curve balls. In this case, it came from her relatively lower class friends who were a mixture of immigrant and native families. While her parents were only vaguely familiar with it, the indutsrious young woman was using her impressive time managment skills to carve out more room for her second life in the niche female wrestling community. In truth she was a bit sloppy at first but holding a fair share of potential, potential that promoters and fellow wrestlers didn't waste time attempting to unlock.

The stakes rose when she joined what was then among the largest of Slavic Europe's underground and rather scandalous female wrestling organizations. It's here that the budding wrestler became a kind of minor cult icon of exotic semi-Asiatic beauty and a leg fetishist's moist dreams come true. A dangerous torturer inside the ring, she was actually considered something of an unspoken leader behind the scenes, not afraid to bustle through dull paperwork, in-group politics, and even finances from an auxiliary position. It made her more friends than her exaggerated heel portrayal might have implied although this was intentionally kept a secret and still remains as such.

She came to AFW after the organization ran into assorted financial troubles, deciding that someone had to test the waters and take a few for the team.
